Brooklyn Park officials are hoping to get state funding for a new interchange on Highway 169 at 101stAvenueNorth. The city believes the interchange would have a positive impact on access to jobs.
"We still have about 1,100 acres of undeveloped land in the community," said Kim Berggren, Brooklyn Park's community development director. "We know that if we want to develop that land in a way that brings many more jobs to the community, we need really good transportation access."
The $31 million project is being called a critical link in Brooklyn Park's transportation puzzle. The city wants a clover leaf interchange and they have made their funding pitch to politicians in St. Paul.
"You don't get what you don't ask for," said Brooklyn Park Mayor JeffLunde. "So we want to make sure we are there asking. We know it has some regional significance."
City officials believe that a new interchange will fuel job growth along the Highway 169 corridor, similar to what has happened along Highway 610, where 6,000 jobs have been created by new companies settling near the freeway.
Brooklyn Park hopes to add 15,000 more jobs, which is why the interchange is on the city's wish list..
"We know that if we want to be able to achieve those job goals we need that interchange at 101st," Berggren said. "So that transportation access is available to all those businesses."
The interchange would be close to Target's NorthernCampus and could be a future home to other major companies.
"We don't just want Target," Lunde said. "Target's awesome, but we want someone else like Target. We want another headquarters or two."
Target owns 330 acres of land near the proposed interchange and would like to see additional business growth in the area. The interchange would also be a safer way to get on and off the highway and provide better access to the road.

Just sitting at a stoplight, trying to get home the back way like I've been doing for the last 9 months with everyone else. Calculating my plan B and plan C routes for some errands next weekend. Then it dawned on me! Hey, Minnesotans! Let's sing a song to celebrate this last weekend of the back way! 9/23/2017

Route description

Route 169 begins at an intersection with Route 2 and Route 32 in Norwich and heads northeast to the Taftville section of Norwich, where it briefly overlaps Route 97 and turns south before crossing the Shetucket River into Lisbon. In Lisbon, Route 169 continues generally northeast, intersecting I-395 before continuing into Canterbury. In Canterbury, Route 169 continues north, generally parallel to the Quinebaug River although not actually along it, before crossing into Brooklyn. In Brooklyn, it continues north, bisecting the town, before crossing into Pomfret. In Pomfret, it continues north, overlapping US 44 through the center of town, before continuing north into Woodstock. In Woodstock, it continues north past the Woodstock Airport, briefly overlapping Route 171, before heading generally northwest to the Massachusetts state line.

State highway

State highway, state road, or state route (and the equivalent provincial highway, provincial road, or provincial route) can refer to several different concepts:

In a country that is composed of states (e.g. Australia, India, Mexico, and the United States) or provinces (e.g. Canada and China), a "state route" usually refers to either a road numbered by the state or province, falling below numbered national highways in the hierarchy (route numbers are used to aid navigation, and may or may not indicate ownership or maintenance); or a road maintained by the state or province, including both nationally numbered highways and un-numbered state highways. Depending on the state, state highway may be used for one meaning and state road or state route for the other.

In some countries such as New Zealand, the word "state" is used in its sense of a nation. By this meaning a state highway is a road maintained and numbered by the national government rather than local authorities.

Highway

A highway is any public road or other public way on land. It is used for major roads, but also includes other public roads and public tracks: It is not an equivalent term to freeway (motorway), or a translation for autobahn, autoroute, etc.

Overview

Major highways are often named and numbered by the governments that typically develop and maintain them. Australia's Highway 1 is the longest national highway in the world at over 14,500km or 9,000mi and runs almost the entire way around the continent. China has the world's largest network of highways followed closely by the United States of America. Some highways, like the Pan-American Highway or the European routes, span multiple countries. Some major highway routes include ferry services, such as U.S. Route 10, which crosses Lake Michigan.

Highway 169

Hwy 169 construction backs up Brooklyn Park commuters

Most road construction projects in the Twin Cities metro area are winding down, but that's not the case in Brooklyn Park and Champlin. Work has begun on Highway 169 from north of Highway 610 to the Mississippi River bridge.
Work is currently being done to resurface concrete pavement between EastHayden LakeRoad and Highway 610. The project includes installing new crosswalks, improving turn lanes and putting in a new pedestrian bridge between 101st and 109th Avenues. MnDOT says drivers will face slowdowns.
"People are going to need to expect delays on the south end of the project, south of Hayden Lake Road down to 610 for the next few weeks as we build crossovers down there," said KentBarnard of MnDOT. "Then next spring as the construction season starts, we'll be able to kick it off full speed."
On the north end of the project, MnDOT will replace bridges over Elm Creek and straighten out the curves between East Hayden Lake and the Mississippi River.

Being closed all year, this late August footage of interstate 169 is only a few days before it's to be paved. Previously crews demolished the mile long bridge, parked large hills of dirt on each side, and laid down that dirt to span the highway across the wetlands of Edina. This will be much more durable than an actual bridge, and it won't be such a hazard for ice build up as would a raised bridge.

Most road construction projects in the Twin Cities metro area are winding down, but that's not the case in Brooklyn Park and Champlin. Work has begun on Highway 169 from north of Highway 610 to the Mississippi River bridge.
Work is currently being done to resurface concrete pavement between EastHayden LakeRoad and Highway 610. The project includes installing new crosswalks, improving turn lanes and putting in a new pedestrian bridge between 101st and 109th Avenues. MnDOT says drivers will face slowdowns.
"People are going to need to expect delays on the south end of the project, south of Hayden Lake Road down to 610 for the next few weeks as we build crossovers down there," said KentBarnard of MnDOT. "Then next spring as the construction season starts, we'll be able to kick it off full speed."
On the north end of the project, MnDOT will replace bridges over Elm Creek and straighten out the curves between East Hayden Lake and the Mississippi River.

Being closed all year, this late August footage of interstate 169 is only a few days before it's to be paved. Previously crews demolished the mile long bridge, parked large hills of dirt on each side, and laid down that dirt to span the highway across the wetlands of Edina. This will be much more durable than an actual bridge, and it won't be such a hazard for ice build up as would a raised bridge.
I wasn't able to find a view of it anywhere, so I flew over it with my Phantom 3 Advanced.
All UAV laws and airspace restrictions were considered and flown accordance throughout this film.

My hellish commute, October 2010 Oregon roads

Nothing special here. Just my drive through Southern Oregon roads this morning with some Fall colors and XM radio playing music (it cuts out once in a while due to mountainous terrain). The best foliage is at the beginning.

Part 2 continues the journey that began on HopkinsHill traveling from the site of the Child Tavern on BarlowCemeteryRoad in Woodstock to Crytsal Pond at the border of Woodstock and Eastford, CT. The route follows ancient paths and roads that have been largely forgotten with the passage of centuries. Using old maps and "bushwacking", the route of the Old Connecticut Path is revealed once again.
The Old Connecticut Path is one of the earliest trails followed as part of America's westward migration. As early as 1633-36, the migration from Massachusetts Bay at Boston/Cambridge west to Connecticut began following the Old Connecticut Path. John Oldham followed the Path to the Connecticut valley in 1633 followed by the Watertown, MA congregation in 1635 to settle Wethersfield, CT. ReverendJohn Wareham and the Dorchester congregation followed the Path in 1635 to settle Windsor, CT. Reverend Thomas Hooker and his entire congregation walked along the Old Connecticut Path for two weeks across the wilderness in 1636 from Cambridge, MA to establish Hartford, CT. Join me for a walk and use your imagination to experience the landscape traveled by the pioneers of the 1600s.

State Route 169 is a vital link to the communities in and around the Moapa Valley. This stretch of highway northeast of Las Vegas is an economic lifeline for residents, a lure to tourists, and with so much history, it's more than a memory lane of Silver State lore. Clark CountyTelevision (CCTV) presents a look at the people, places and sights there with "Stories of Highway 169.” In this presentation, we’ll take you on a tour of the lost city of St. Thomas, the Valley of Fire, the Logandale Trails System, the Old Overton Gym and the Old Logandale School, now operating as a museum said to be haunted by a girl who drowned nearby. St. Thomas, submerged by the rising waters of LakeMead after the completion of Hoover Dam in the 1930s, is now accessible to visitors due to the drought. CCTV takes viewers on a tour with a National Park Service ranger. The town is named for Thomas Smith, who led an expedition for the Mormon Church to the area in 1865. Today, 47 features remain in the lost city, including a grocery store, ice cream parlor, the Gentry hotel and the foundations and steps of a school house. Some 500 people once lived in St. Thomas, and the last one rowed away from his home in 1938. For information about the tours, please visit www.NPS.gov. The Valley of Fire is Nevada’s oldest and largest state park, having been dedicated in 1935. It is also very popular, a recreational paradise for hikers, short-term campers, picnickers, shutterbugs and international tourists coming in from Las Vegas. The park’s beautiful red sandstone formations also have attracted movie-makers over the years. The Valley of Fire has been featured in Star Trek: Generations, Transformers, The Professionals, Casino and more. For additional information, please visit www.Parks.NV.gov. The Logandale Trails System is more than 200 miles long and is used by perhaps every type of recreational user from hikers to off-roaders. Adjacent to the Valley of Fire, the system offers stunning vistas and exposure to hundreds of species of plants and animals with dozens of campsites available for public use. Please visit www.LogandaleTrails.com for more information. The Old Logandale School and Museum and its collection of artifacts and photographs reflect the rich history of the area. The facility, once slated to be torn down, is believed by some to be haunted by a girl who drowned nearby. It is open to the public Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information, please call (702) 398-7272 or email OLSHACSLYBRE@mvdsl.com. Moapa Valley High School opened in 1917 and a red brick gym was added in 1938, becoming the center of community activity until a new gym was built in 1964. In 2001, after the old gym has been closed for a decade, locals banded together to renovate and restore it. The Old Overton Gym opened its doors in 2006 on the grounds of what is now W. MackLyonMiddle School. It remains a Clark County School District facility, and Clark County Parks and Recreation staff provide programming. For more information, please visit www.OldOGym.com.

Brooklyn Park pushes for Hwy. 169 interchange

Brooklyn Park officials are hoping to get state funding for a new interchange on Highway 169 at 101stAvenueNorth. The city believes the interchange would have a positive impact on access to jobs.
"We still have about 1,100 acres of undeveloped land in the community," said Kim Berggren, Brooklyn Park's community development director. "We know that if we want to develop that land in a way that brings many more jobs to the community, we need really good transportation access."
The $31 million project is being called a critical link in Brooklyn Park's transportation puzzle. The city wants a clover leaf interchange and they have made their funding pitch to politicians in St. Paul.
"You don't get what you don't ask for," said Brooklyn Park Mayor JeffLunde. "So we want to make sure we are there asking. We know it has some regional significance."
City officials believe that a new interchange will fuel job growth along the Highway 169 corridor, similar to what has happened along Highway 610, where 6,000 jobs have been created by new companies settling near the freeway.
Brooklyn Park hopes to add 15,000 more jobs, which is why the interchange is on the city's wish list..
"We know that if we want to be able to achieve those job goals we need that interchange at 101st," Berggren said. "So that transportation access is available to all those businesses."
The interchange would be close to Target's NorthernCampus and could be a future home to other major companies.
"We don't just want Target," Lunde said. "Target's awesome, but we want someone else like Target. We want another headquarters or two."
Target owns 330 acres of land near the proposed interchange and would like to see additional business growth in the area. The interchange would also be a safer way to get on and off the highway and provide better access to the road.

Route description

Route 169 begins at an intersection with Route 2 and Route 32 in Norwich and heads northeast to the Taftville section of Norwich, where it briefly overlaps Route 97 and turns south before crossing the Shetucket River into Lisbon. In Lisbon, Route 169 continues generally northeast, intersecting I-395 before continuing into Canterbury. In Canterbury, Route 169 continues north, generally parallel to the Quinebaug River although not actually along it, before crossing into Brooklyn. In Brooklyn, it continues north, bisecting the town, before crossing into Pomfret. In Pomfret, it continues north, overlapping US 44 through the center of town, before continuing north into Woodstock. In Woodstock, it continues north past the Woodstock Airport, briefly overlapping Route 171, before heading generally northwest to the Massachusetts state line.

Nord >> A motorist died Wednesday in a crash on Highway 32 west of Chico, according to the CaliforniaHighwayPatrol. The motorist, only identified at the scene as an adult, reportedly tried to pass traffic on the two-lane highway and struck an oncoming vehicle head-on, Sgt. Robert Boyer said ... ....
